Melton Review

[Richard prior]

Lance drove a shocker on LuvinaChevy... If he keeps drivivng that horse like he did tonight, he won't come close to being a potential topliner as he reckons he will... Gave him absolutely no hope.. Should have taken him back from the very start. He will be completely gassed if he keeps having races like that! None of your horses are Trigger Lance & never will be. Drive them easier mate.

Totally agree with you Ev, Old Lance gets a bit of white line fever but his drive on Hu Hu R U later in the night was more to the way he should be driving his horses.

Right on Rich! I salute Lance on th drive on Hu Hu Ru. Nice filly!

[Smoken]

Sorry Lance, but you need to train your horses to run straight! Several of his horses seem to be shifting there heads and running wide around bends.. Luv Ina Chevy was 3 deep the trip tonight... Another handful of those runs and he's had it!
Extremely average!

I can remember, not so long ago, being amazed at the times they were running at Menangle for 1609m, now it seems that they are going just as fast on the smaller Melton over 1720m

I thought I would dust this thread off

There was definitely no Godess at Melton tonight - it will be interesting to see if the vets can explain her poor showing
The 2yo's went 1.53 again - UNBELIEVABLE
Maorisfavouritesun could add another chapter to this legendary family (no need to worry about Ike Frost for this one)

Orange Agent and Three Summas brilliant. 2nd place-getters in both race went awesome. Alotbettor - shades of Musical Delight.

Very good field in the Bold David FFA. Surely this is a race worth more than the prize money allocated $20,000. Almost a group 2 field I would have thought and if this field was running anywhere else it would have been a $40-$50k race. Maybe because there were a couple of other feature races on. Solid drive from Gath and they seem to have Maximan up and running again. The time wasn't special though compared to the mares group 3 race.

About 20 of those $20K FFA throughout the year. 20*30K = 600K. Money better spent elsewhere when you can get that field for $20K anyway I reckon.

Emma Stewart only had 2 winners tonight BUT she only had starters in those 2 races! No doubt in part due to there being 4 trot races
Anton Golino did not have the favourite in the Gp2 Mares Trot but with 5 starters produced the winner - fair effort to have half the field in a Gp2 race. He also had 4 in the Gp1 Trotters Oaks and got the bickies there too
John Justice had the extreme outsider of the field in the M1 but Gotta Go Henry got up at $67.10 Amongst his adversaries were 3 trained by brother Lance
Only 2 odds on winners tonight and some serious value amongst the winners

BUMP

Only 2 of 10 winners tonight did not lead all the way or come from behind the leader
and Spellbound and Teetreetommy were the best races of the night IMO
